Toronto is nice this time of year :D

Especially compared to Minnesota!

I've had a white zin from a box before, but I don't really consider that wine. More like a wine cooler.

I have had wine in a box I will drink but my wife hasn't. I don't mind if she doesn't drink it.

Actually, it pretty much sucks. Snow one day. Deep freeze the next. Dirty snow. Then a melt. Repeat. Wait until May or June. After that we are good until November. ;)

yup - I recognize the label; that was a joke question

Thanks for the offer, and I do like Toronto, but it's a lot cheaper to buy one than to fly!


I actually have seen some decent French wines in boxes. A lot of people are putting more effort into ways to "containerize" wine these days. The rate of corked wines is a killer.

I don't expect us to give up bottles and go back to amphora tho.

if you buy it by the case all 12 bottles come in a BOX

Three liter? So what do you drink after dinner?

I have not had a real problem with turned bottles in my 'day' wine consumption. Many $15 Spanish reds. I open them & vacuvin & drink over 2 -3 nights. I did lose a 1999 Les Forts de Latour recently & THAT was painful. :(

Pfft... I'm storing all my wine in sheep stomachs!

This stuff comes in a "box" and isn't bad at all:

Do you guys count the 1-liter packages as "boxes?" I think the name of the wine is Bandit, and it's put together by some people here in the Napa Valley. Good quality for the price, but more expensive than "Two Buck Chuck."

Because of people like you, you just can't get a good haggis these days. :(
